The average rating for The decline of laissez faire, 1897-1917 based on 2 reviews is 3 stars.

Review # 1 was written on 2017-01-04 00:00:00 Christof De Meyer Important NC history of its political elite and how desperately they worked to maintain their power after slavery ended.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-12-08 00:00:00 Ian Tyack Nice textbook-style survey of 19th-century North Carolina social and political history. Escott turns a bit maudlin at the end, but this was my first brush with the problems of NC's past outside of my parents' discontent with its conservative assholery, so I hold it a bit dearer than it probably deserves.
